What do you guys think of this Acerbis blitz fairing/headlight set up? This is xSpeed3x's Speed Triple : , I really like the streetfighter look. My only concern is replacing the tach/speedo with something smaller like a veypor which is costly. I think the stock tach/speedo sticks out too far to work with this set up.



I hope to get started on this project soon :assim: , just have to get some funds together for that new tach/speedo.

I like it! Fly-N-Cycle has some mini-fairings that look like you could use the stock cluster, and are not too pricey. :wink:

I personally think that the dual headlights are part of the S4 character. If I were to change the front I would change to clear lenses for the headlights.

i've gotta agree,
the charm of the s3-s4, for me anyway, is the looney bug eyes!!!

I have to agree that the dual headlights are part of what makes the bike stand out and clear lenses would be a nice touch. Decisions decisions...

One draw back for me would be the lack on wind protection. I think I will end up ordering a Secdem screen and some clear headlights.

I've always liked the dual headlights on the Speed Four but never felt like they got the placement of them right. I moved the headlights up about an inch and a half and that helped. I always thought the headlights stuck out too far. Moving the lights up was one thing but moving them back was a problem. Personally, I think the fairing on the first pic looks really cool. If you like it--go for it. Does it actually light the way though? Those little lights don't look sufficient...

I dont like the way that looks myself. but i do have an acherbis piese i plan to use on my tt600. I like a side by side head light not one on top of the other. all I have to say is if it works and you like it run it. dont matter who else likes it.
